Thats lovely!!

....But fook me those axles are almost pegs themselves

very nice

except the chain imo
not too keen on those types. chrome and red would look much better i think

Thought about taking them down to be honest but didn't want to risk damaging them! Like i said it's a work in progress

When i ordered it it looked as if it was red anno, but actually in the flesh i think it looks real nice so i kept it on

Great that

, i do like black tuffs with white walls , love the bars quite large, have you got long legs ?

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 23, 2013, 05:52 PM »

It's really sweet mate, though I agree with Dave about the chain and the tyres, I'd also drop the seat post an inch or so, and pull the bars back a tad.

^^^^^
Second

I will be the first to say it..

Love the bike

lovely build mate

but lose the chain

Peter J · « **Reply #10 on:** January 23, 2013, 05:56 PM »

like it alot

Not 100% on the chain $:-\$

But if we all liked the same it would be boring

AKGOFF · « **Reply #11 on:** January 23, 2013, 05:57 PM »

Colours are great, and very cool frameset. VC10s look a little tall in my opinion and skinwall Comp llls would look better but so long as your happy that's all that matters.

Great build.

looking great and super clean

seat post now needs to go down

glenboy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2013, 06:13 PM »

thats a great bike and a lovely build sir , i love vectors myself as well and have a couple

, you were very lucky getting them forks as well , as said i really like it but i'd ditch the flex fighter with them bars on ,seatpost down a bit and get them bars back a bit we've all been pulled up on having the bars too far forward at some point

, although these were a race bike i'm liking the look of the whitewalls on there, very very nice that mate and i love them massive bars as well

Lovely build

I have to say, the chain is a bit 'in your face' but i can see why you went for it. Again, the seatpost could do with coming down a few inches but thats just preference. Its an awesome bit of kit

senzo milano · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2013, 08:12 PM »

Very nice built there... Glad the forks match in you frame...

cheers Patric

No it was on my old surviver Ripper since 1983 .. always wanted a LAnding Gear for it.

But never had the chance to change it..
